Things To Know For Your Arrival

The location of Grand Lake, CO means that each and every season
here comes with its own distinct benefits. For many visitors, that is
a deciding factor for making plans according to weather.
Regardless of the season you decide on, make sure you prepare yourself accordingly. If you’re coming in the summer, its important to know that it can still be a but chilly during the afternoon and fairly cold at night. Its also a good idea to pack bug repellent as you’ll need it to stave off the mosquitoes. 
If you’re here in the early spring or late fall, bring plenty of warm clothes as the evenings can be quiet chilly.
If you decide on a winter wedding we recommend packing very warm cloths and a change of shoes in case of wet conditions.
